trouble using nnimap with gnus
I hope this is not a FAQ. I've read all the documentation I can find and I
still can't read my mail using nnimap and gnus. I could be missing
something really basic, I've never used gnus before.
My system is this:
Windows NT 4.0
NTEmacs 20.4.1
pgnus 0.96
nnimap 0.129
I'm able to start gnus, and I've put the following in my .gnus
;; start .gnus
;; for debugging
(setq gnus-verbose 9)
;; where I installed nnimap
(add-to-list 'load-path "d:/dinstall/emacs/nnimap-0.129")
(require 'nnimap)
;;(setq gnus-nntp-server nil)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
;; this example copied from the nnimap site
'((nnimap "dada"
(nnimap-address "cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu")
(nnimap-authenticator anonymous)
(nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "archive.*")))
;; this is my mail server
(nnimap "nexus.webmethods.com"
(nnimap-address "nexus.webmethods.com")
)
)
)
;; end .gnus
When gnus starts, I see message which look like it is connecting to the
imap servers, and I am even prompted to log into the one that is not
anonymous access. But after that nothing appears in gnus except some
default newsgroups. I can't see my mail anywhere. I've even hit "U" to see
all groups, and nothing looks like my imap settings.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

BTW - I know my imap server is working because Outlook can read the mail.
Help me please or I'll be stuck using Outlook!!!
